Summary
Abstract: DATASET_COMMENTS:

The NASA Water Vapor Project data set (NVAP) is a total column
(integrated) water vapor data set comprised of a combination of
radiosonde observations, Television and Infrared Operational Satellite
(TIROS) Operational Vertical Sounder (TOVS), and Special Sensor
Microwave/Imager (SSM/I) data sets. This is 5-year total and layered
